This video is incredible. Why hasn't this concept (reason requiring faith) ever been explained to me before?! Do you recommend any books or other videos to help me get started on a journey of Understanding Orthodox Christian theology? Found you through Mr. Dyer and the Moly debate review.
One more question: how do you respond to those who argue that say reason has given us answers and practical applications in our world, therefore I'm not using faith but a proven method? Is the rebuttal that the "knowledge" gained through reason is only incredibly shallow and tells us nothing about the underlying fundamental reality?
Thanks for this video!! It's helping get my head to where my heart already is: in Christ.

Moe's exhaust modifications will increase fuel efficiency by 1 or 2% and pay for themselves by a hundred thousand miles and they also make it easier on the engine.

You visit Saint Anthony’s Monastery in Arizona? If so, maybe you can pay a visit if you have the time at Saint Paisios mission here in Yuma, AZ. God bless on your work. I’ll have to donate to your cause sometime.

Thank you, Father Deacon Ananias. I am a new Catechumen (as of yesterday)! Will you please share a good place to get icons? I'm hoping to find icons produced by actual Orthodox Christians. Thank you, and God bless all.

Fr, the lecture on apophaticism you did on a monastery some days ago is available on internet?

[oaktree]

Is not God the ground for the axioms of existence, identity, and noncontradiction? As such how does this relate to His essence, attributes and energies? Are these principles a part of His essence or His energies?

[Jerina]

Then come to the Serbian mountains or even better Kosovo, where there is unique density of very old monasteries which are hugely jeopardized

Since Christ is the perfect measure of all things.



It is He who, philosophy goes on to explain, breaks the closed systems in which philosophers imprison and denature the reflection of the living God in human thought.


wow
